Texas Slim Wesbot Timelapse Video

This timelapse video compresses an eight-hour CFX Live stream into two minutes, showcasing how the company's Kuka 6-axis robotic arm—nicknamed Wesbot—mills a clay sculpture of their newest mask character, Texas Slim. The footage captures the operator pausing the robot to refine and build up clay by hand, as well as using compressed air to clear milled debris. The final piece is a near-complete Monster Clay sculpt destined to become a professional silicone mask. CFX emphasizes that human artistry and digital design by their sculptor Herman remain central to the process.

WESBOT LIVE March 27th, 2024 - Join the livestream on cutting a NEW MASK: GEMINI!

CFX Masks hosts an all-day livestream showcasing the robotic sculpting of their newest design, the Gemini mask, using their in-house Kuka 6-axis robotic arm nicknamed Wesbot. The workflow begins with a digital sculpt that is translated into a robot path program, allowing the machine to carve the bulk of the form from Monsterclay. Human artists then step in to add finishing details and refinements the robot cannot achieve, ultimately producing a wearable silicone mask. The stream offers an extended, real-time look at how professional-grade technology is integrated into high-end mask production.

CFX MASKS - Wesbot LIVE! (10am 10.23.2023)

CFX Masks takes viewers behind the scenes with a live demonstration of their Kuka-based robotic sculpting system, nicknamed Wesbot, cutting out a new mask design. Wesbot is a six-axis robotic arm programmed by Robotic Solutions that translates digital design files into physical sculpts, handling the bulk of the production work. Human artisans then take over to add finishing details that the robot cannot achieve on its own. The livestream invites audience speculation about what the finished mask will look like.
